Hell yeah, I'm a transformer!
Anyone that as ever met me knows I am a tech geek. I can't help it and frankly, I'm proud of it! I mean, really... secretly I think everyone wants gadgets and stuff, just out of curiosity. But I get a feeling in my stomach (like butterflies) at the thought of live, transforming vehicles. Weird huh? I really enjoyed Transformers- the cartoon, as a child and when Transformers the movie, recently came out, I was overjoyed! I remember coming out of the theater, newly mesmerized by all the big trucks, quietly awaiting their transformation into robots! My heart is pounding now. - I'm such a nerd!
Ok so recently, I've been watching Knight Rider, another show I thoroughly enjoyed when I was younger (dating myself), and i like the new KITT! I mean yeah its not a Firebird Trans Am but hey I used to have a Ford Thunderbird! So KITT can transform into trucks and damn near anything Ford makes... I haven't seen the KITT Focus yet, but its still early, I'm sure they will work that into the plot. So while I hate the shameless advertisment, shabby acting and sad attempt at plots - I enjoy the 80's cheesyness and the TRANSFORMING KITT!
Freak! I so wish transforming cars were real!

Perspective
So, I got my first piece of advice from my wise cousin in about 4 years. She always puts things in such a clear and concise way. I love her for that.
When dating remember three things:
(1) Dudes lie
(2) DUDES lie
and
(3) Dudes LIE...
You can't take dudes seriously... cuz, they lie. Just have fun and enjoy the moment.

Slight Discouragement
So when I first thought about writing a blog, I was initially discouraged. So one asked me (with attitude), What are YOU going to write about? What the freak?! I go through things in this world like everyone else. I just want to get it out like half the bloggers out there! My heart sunk. Damn, I thought, this person is extremely harsh. Now, everytime I get ready to write something here I think of that comment. It still hits me hard.
I am very surprised at how eloquent and gifted writers (wordsmith’s) are often so oblivious to the power of words! I cannot believe how haphazardly they use them – their tones, their half remarks, comments and lack thereof.
I am not what one would call a wordsmith. I know how to write and complete a sentence, but probably won’t be best at teaching anyone else. I have imagination of things to do and places to be and careers to pursue, but not so much fiction. I guess that’s why I love fiction so much! I on the other hand am a logic, math, science kinda girl. Learning to me is sexy. I really mean that! I am also extremely sensitive to the awesomeness of others talents and gifts. I mean the ability to use one’s imagination and come up with some of the most awesome books every written, movies ever produced or speeches ever spoke, should never be overlooked.
However, I am very disturbed how one could neglect to see the responsibility that comes along with that talent. I mean if I choose to use my math and science to build a bridge… then I very well can’t do it half assed. I have to make sure I am careful with my numbers, use the correct formulas and double check everything! I know the consequence. I could become a lazy engineer or a lazy doctor or whatever – end result I could be looked down upon and cause pain to others.
The pen, my friends, is much mightier than the sword. In one fail swoop, laws can be changed, policies rewritten. If one is not careful they could become the arrogant, politician, historian, lawyer, judge or whatever – end result they are looked down upon and can cause pain to others. In many cases we are no longer talking about the thousands of people who use a bridge, or hundreds that go to a specific doctor. We are talking millions that can be affected by laws and policies (directly and indirectly) and for long periods of times – try years.
While these are extreme circumstances, they all start with this, early onset of either arrogance or laziness or both. Humble yourself. Realize and embrace your talents. Respect others talents.

WTF, America?
So I got a chance to watch the Daily Show with Jon Stewart. He's doing this cool little segment on a group of undecided older Jewish people in Florida. Wanting to see how they gauged the presidential elections. Well while the segment was funny, a comment towards the end was not. Once the presidential debates were over the wives of the debaters join them on stage, one woman's comparison of Michelle Obama bothers me. This is not acceptable.
Well check it out for yourself: HERE
She should not be compared to a horse and you can not determine and African American woman's tribal origin by the size of her ass!
